“Just a council liaison report. So I've been working with the CACT. One of the topics that's come up is that they've been wondering how to be most effective. The issue is that CACT just, I mean, transportation is just such a huge subject. And so trying to narrow down what they're focused on and how many things come up, it almost feels overwhelming because these meetings can go on for a very long time and it still doesn't feel like we're accomplishing. a lot um and so i'm just giving a heads up that this may end up coming to council at some point in terms of what we expect the scope of cact to…”

“Yeah, I think that would be... I would suggest that as kind of the first step.”

“Thank you. I'll just jump in quickly. Yeah, we've been getting messages about flock cameras and other things like that. And the difference that I've been pointing out to people is that flock cameras are recording all the time. And they've been used by other agencies beyond the local jurisdiction to track people. Whereas what we're really looking for is to enforce speeding and red light running and other traffic violations. And so those cameras are not running at all times. And so that's just something that I guess as we're communicating to the public, this is something that we need for…”

“So I am on the listserv for the greening of Lincoln, but I didn't get a message about it. Andrew Oleson did send out a message to the neighborhood, but if you could just double check that a notice went out to the contacts that Tony has, that would be great. And it's possible I missed it.”

“Yes, I don't fully understand in terms of these small area plans. This is something that we need to stick to when planning, but it's mostly a guide. But does that open us up to any legal risk if for some reason, could someone come after us and say, well, you didn't do enough for the shadow and open space or whatever it is that we...”

“I was actually just curious because there was talk about putting things underground. Is underground really I know that there were talks about stormwater issues and water retention issues on this area. And so I was just wondering if underground is actually a realistic option on the site. Do we know?”

“So it would depend on the size of the project, just whether or not they could go underground.”

“I just, I mean, I guess I generally have a question, which is, I guess my overall worry just generally is, well, I would love to have three stories or lower on the Winter Hill side. But I guess we need to take into account the entire picture as a whole. And maybe we're also capping the Maple Avenue side at six stories potentially. And so every time we... cap the height lower and lower. Let's say that 40 feet is indeed three stories. That then means that those town homes can only sell for a certain amount of money. And that means then that the city either needs to contribute more money to the…”

“and so that kind of trade-off discussion i think is what you're kind of highlighting yeah i just i'd like to be able to understand the trade-offs um before sort of saying like we absolutely can't do this and so but i don't know maybe there's a way to get some of that information of the trade-offs even if we do set certain things and so i i don't want to limit us is is my main concern here and so Yeah, there probably are things where we're willing to make a trade-off where like, oh, maybe, you know, 65 or 70 feet is okay in one area. If that means that, you know, we get family-sized units,…”

“Is there a way that if we set this, how can we find out what the trade-offs are? Can we find out that this means that the city needs to meet our affordability goals? we'll need to contribute x more dollars, or how can we find out what the trade-offs are during this process? Or if, let's say, 45 feet would get us x much more floors such that the buildings would sell for that much more, and then we would need to contribute that much less.”

“So let's say they can make it work at 42 feet. Would we maybe get four stories work at 42 feet? Would we maybe get that feedback back such that and then if we were to get that feedback, could we then amend this to be 42 feet if that's what's needed to make the project more viable?”

“OK, so we could get that information. If we get that information, it comes back to really make this project viable. It needs to be 41 feet exactly. then can we go and amend this document? Or what is that process?”
